Australian International School to Open New Campus at Rupayan City Uttara, MoU Signed

The Australian International School (AUSIS), Dhaka, is to set up a new campus at Rupayan City Uttara in Dhaka's Uttara. To that end, a memorandum of understanding was signed on Monday (26 October) at the Sky Villa Lounge of Rupayan City Uttara between Rupayan City Uttara and the Australian International School, Dhaka.

Rupayan City Uttara has been described as Bangladesh's first premium mega gated community. According to the organisers, the initiative opens a path to new opportunities for international education in Dhaka's Uttara.

Present at the signing for the Australian International School were its board chairman Sakhawat Abu Khayer Mohammad, managing director M. Khorshed Alam, director and development committee chairman Liaquat Hossain Mogol, and director and election and recruitment committee chairman Momtazul Karim Ansari.

Present for the Rupayan Group were group chairman Liakat Ali Khan Mukul, co-chairman Mahir Ali Khan Ratul, vice chairmen Nowrin Jahan Mitul, Saif Ali Khan Atul and Walid Mukhai Ali, adviser Captain (retd) P. J. Ullah, Rupayan City Uttara chief executive Brigadier General (retd) Ahsan Habib, Rupayan Housing Estate Ltd deputy chief executive Saiful Islam, and Rupayan Group director (marketing) Amit Chakrabarty.

Rupayan Group chairman Liakat Ali Khan Mukul said Rupayan City Uttara is not just a housing project for them; it is a reflection of a planned and modern way of life. He said they want to build a community where families can live in a safe and comfortable environment and also get the facilities needed to build their children's future, and that the Australian International School's new campus initiative will take that wider plan further forward.

Australian International School board chairman Sakhawat Abu Khayer Mohammad said they had reached an understanding today. In his words, the arrival of the Australian International School at Rupayan City Uttara will further enrich the country's housing and education sectors.

The organisers said Rupayan City Uttara has been built as a residential community combining modern housing, a planned environment, security and integrated civic facilities. In their words, if the new campus initiative is implemented, there is an expectation that education opportunities will become more accessible for Rupayan City Uttara residents as well as for families across greater Uttara.
